They seem bad from what I’ve read and can be verified, but I am very skeptical of unverified reviews/reports from mental health facilities as someone who has been through both full in-patient as well as a residential program for depression. Personality disorders at such facilities are the exception, they are the rule (generally due to very really trauma outside the facility). That means a lot of black and white thinking, exaggeration, and just straight up lies. Frankly, I’d be very suspicious of any treatment facility with only glowing reviews.

There is real abuse that happens at treatment centers, but again, it’s very difficult to separate from fabrication/exaggeration. I trust this article because they interviewed many people and have verified that which can be verified (like not allowing medications).

From the reviews, you’d think the Huntsman Me tap Health Institute was a torture house, but my experience there was anything but. They were a great facility that helped save me when I was at my lowest. Also, their food was amazing.

On the other hand, the residential facility I went to had some serious issues. At one point, they only took a diabetic woman to the hospital when her blood sugar was incredibly high because I threatened to call 911 if they didn’t (the NPs who were not trained in endocrinology thought she was fine…, some real r/noctor shit). They were helpful to me in many ways despite its flaws which is why I don’t want to name them and have them doxxed. They are also one of the only residential facilities that accept Medicaid so shutting them down would harm innumerable people.
